Quality Assurance and Quality Control by Variable, Version 6..

Abstract

This is a document designed to summarise the current status of quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures across the Integrated Marine Observing System's program from the perspective of the essential ocean variables we are measuring. The purpose of this document is to highlight gaps, identify priorities, and to provide an evidence base for use by the IMOS community in considering whether or not the QC procedures that we have evolved are as effective and efficient as they need to be for a sustained observing system.
